The Road to Middle Grade Giveaway

As most of you know, this summer I will really be making the transition from a young adult focus to a middle grade focus. I've been doing this more in my Waiting on Wednesday etc posts already, but I've got plans for more. Some of the changes I'll be making this summer are:

creating a page for all the great MG focues blogs

creating a page for all the great MG authors

althought you won't see it right away - setting up interviews and features of MG authors and books

continuing the In the Middle reading challenge

creating a weekly YA post. I still love YA too and I want to make sure to highlight some great YA books that I think are great for my 7th graders

And today the first step - a contest clearing off my wonderful YA books that need to find better homes! The books I'm giving away are:

This has nothing to with the contest, but everything to do with that first part... I am THRILLED that you'll be focusing on MG titles as I am a big fan of them myself and I can't wait to discover new books through your blog. I'm currently reading a great one right now (The Black Book of Secrets by F.E. Higgins) that I will likely be done soon and will post a review today.

I often have MG titles on my blog, but they are mixed in with the adult fantasy, mystery and YA titles since I have a wide range of books. I don't know if you read my blog often (or at all - and I'm not asking! ;)) but if you do check it out you can find my MG under "young reader 9-12" which is how the bookstores up here list them on the shelves. ;)

I'm very exited for your transition. I recommended my own blog if you are looking for MG reviews. My blog is YA and MG but I got a ton of MG books at BEA this year and I plan on doing some feature reviews specifically for MG books and authors - so stay tuned :)A great MG book I read recently is The Witchy Worries of Abbie Adams by Rhonda Hayter.
